    In this episode of Tatter-a-Fact, I will dive deep into the current state of the PMU industry, addressing the slowdown many artists are facing and the misconceptions surrounding bad microblading and saline removal. Inspired by a recent online post, I will share my insights on why the industry is struggling, how poor training plays a role, and why both saline removal and laser removal are essential tools for PMU artists.

    ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ In this episode of Tatter-a-fact PMU Podcast Iโ€™m joined by one of my Girlz Ink Girlz, the talented Ren Taylor! I announce my OFFICIAL retirement from hands on training โ€“ there's still a few trainings left, view the calendar with the link below. Ren and I spend this episode discussing our theories of why PMU artists look down on high saturation techniques and why so many call it "Old School." As an artist with a body tattoo background, it shocks me when "Old School" is used as a term of disrespect in PMU when the body art world considers "Old School" as a coveted and highly respected term. Ren also touches on getting color retention using single needles and if the ombrรฉ technique will fade out and be a trend we simply look back on! Join us for this very interesting topic that I couldn't wait to discuss it with Ren!
